Male mosquito, SEM

Male mosquito. Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of the head of an unidentified male mosquito (family Culicidae). One of the large compound eyes (pink) is at upper right. The hairy antennae branch off the head below the eyes (one seen, upper centre to bottom left). The hairs on the antennae are sensitive to the flight sounds of the female, allowing the male to locate a mate. Magnification: x180 at 6x7cm size
